I Would Be Confessed Songtext
von David McWilliams

Come all you weary mistrels
a warning take by me
I′ve been too long upon this road
to sing in harmony
I've been alone for much too long
my wanderin′ days are through
I wish someone would ask me in
I'd welcome it from you

I have not been contented
too long I've been unblessed
but if you would only love me
I would be confessed


I′ve sat beside the devil
I′ve gambled on a fall
I've sung for drinks in houses
where I got no thanks at all
and everything I′ve done was left
to do some other day
when the talkin's done
the drinks are gone
there′s nothin' left to say

I have not been contented
too long I′ve been unblessed
but if you would only love me
I would be confessed

I've watched the days go slowly
I've seen the seasons fall
and hidden in the doorways
to shelter from the cold
I have made my life in riddles
and lived inside the lies
now I′d like to step in side awhile
throw off my disguise

I have not been contented
too long I′ve been unblessed
but if you would only love me
I would be confessed
